Where is the word homosexuality ANYWHERE in Scripture in relation to Sodom?

Are we really going to be looking for words; or concepts?

It appears to me that a person could only come to this conclusion by reading into the text, from other locations; what is not there.

Both. The angel view was prevalent until Augustine depopularized it. It wasn't the only view. But, you'll find it is not a new one. If the angels were in view in Genesis 6 and the Nephilim (and Rephaim, and Zamzummim, and Anakim, and Amorites)were the result of these illegal unions, then a lot of things in Scripture become more understandable. Anywhere the giants were, for instance, God said wipe them out. Joshua was to wipe them out but some escaped to Gaza and Ashdod etc., Out of that some came Goliath. Genesis 14 helps make sense of Sodom and Gomorrah and why it was more than simple homosexuality that doomed that civilization. It wasn't just the angel sex either. It was an entire mentality in rebellion to God in every way.
